Home of the Week: 78 Old Connecticut Path, Wayland

The blanket of snow surrounding this classic colonial may initially reflect the remnants of a traditional New England season, but it also serves as symbol of cozy winter days and evenings, and there is no other Wayland property that prospective homebuyers can better envision stormy winters than in front of the three fireplaces within 78 Old Connecticut Path. When the temperature rises, however, this lovely home still provides ideal surroundings with its enviable screen porch, tennis court and nearly one and a half acres of private grounds.

Superb quality renovations enhance and blend perfectly with the timeless architecture throughout three finished levels. The first floor offers gracious formal spaces with a 24 x 23 square foot living room with a coffered ceiling and fireplace and an elegant 17 x 12 square foot dining room lined with wainscoting in rich robin's egg blue. Family and casual spaces include a 23 x 21 square foot gourmet kitchen filled with premier culinary accessories that spills into a welcoming fireplaced 31 x 14 square foot great room while the 23 x 13 square foot fireplaced library provides a calming venue for personal reflection drenched in natural wood on the wall and ceiling.

The second floor hosts incredibly comfortable lodging accommodations with an impressive 23 x 14 square foot master bedroom, three family bedrooms measuring at 15 x 15, 12 x 10 and 19 x 12 square feet and a laundry center. The lower level lends generous recreational opportunities with 602 square feet of supplemental finished space not included in the listed square footage with a 19 x 10 square foot playroom and a 22 x 16 square foot game room.

This incredibly well-appointed home is filled with many luxurious and high-end amenities all resourcefully applied for the sheer comfort of its occupants. It is still available only because it just entered the Wayland real estate market less than two short weeks ago, but once potential homebuyers personally view this extraordinary property, this great residential prospect will quickly be gone.
